Why Concurrent list?
The aim of the concurrent list was to ensure uniformity
few concurrent list subjects required huge finances needing
both centre and state to contribute
Sarkaria Commission Recommendation on Concurrent List
residuary powers of taxation should continue to
remain with the Parliament, while the other residuary
powers should be placed in the Concurrent List
Centre should consult the states before making a
law on a subject of the Concurrent List
Union should occupy only that much field of a concurrent subject on which uniformity of policy and action is essential in the larger interest of the nation, leaving the rest and details for state action
